Advanced Education For Mental Health Professionals The Oregon Psychoanalytic Center trains mental health professionals in the theory and practice of psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and a variety of related psychoanalytic programs. OPC is an affiliate of the American Psychoanalytic Association. ADULT PSYCHOANALYTIC TRAINING The Oregon Psychoanalytic Institute, a division of the Oregon Psychoanalytic Center, offers a formal program for clinicians with advanced degrees in their fields who want to explore the entire spectrum of psychoanalytic theory and technique. This program includes a four-year didactic sequence. Deeper Understanding, Meaningful Change Psychoanalysts of all theoretical orientations share a deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual, and a commitment to collaborating authentically with their patients in a process of discovery and growth. These values are embedded in the comprehensive and broad-based curriculum of psychoanalytic training at the Oregon Psychoanalytic Institute. Analytic candidates are encouraged to think critically, to learn through self- knowledge, and to draw insight and inspiration from the many great psychoanalytic thinkers and clinicians, past and present. Learning from peers is also a vital component of theis development. The three pillars of psychoanalytic training—personal training analysis, seminars, and supervised analytic work—provide rich, varied, and profound opportunities for experiential and didactic learning. Deepening the treatment relationship often provides both clinician and patient opportunities for growth. 4 EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY Psychoanalysis began with Freud’s discoveries of unconscious mental life. Within each of us the past lives on in the present, but one is not fully aware of the fantasies, conflicts, symptoms, and self-defeating patterns in relationships and commitments that constrain present life. These may create dissatisfaction, and thwart potentials in love, work and self-esteem. Our training program emphasizes the evolving nature of psychoanalysis, and therefore includes the many new developments in theory and technique of recent years. Course work integrates the study of early contributions with contemporary views, emphasizing the diverse clinical problems that therapists treat in today’s complex world. Object relations, self and intersubjective theories, developmental points of view, and attachment theory, as well as feminist, relational, and interpersonal perspectives, are part of the working knowledge of every competent modern analyst. Increasingly, advances in neuroscience are augmenting our understanding of the mind and how psychotherapies may work; this evolution in our field is also incorporated into didactic classes. Many who are interested in psychoanalytic training are psychotherapists seeking ways to deepen and expand their work with others and on themselves. In the demanding intimate partnership of a good therapeutic relationship, psychoanalytic training can provide important tools: an ability to work in depth with unconscious intrapsychic and interactional phenomena; a surer grasp of transference and countertransference; a capacity to use one’s empathic and relational capacities more effectively; greater competency in recognizing and resolving intrapsychic conflict; and increased understanding of effective interventions. Applicants also seek the intellectual excitement, emotional growth, and immersion in relational and humanistic values that such training provides. While psychoanalytic training is rigorous, it is often the most satisfying and effective path in preparing a clinician for the difficulties and rewards of the therapeutic professional life. It also provides a community of professional colleagues that shares similar interests and values. NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY OPI maintains a non-discriminatory policy with regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, or marital or parental status in admissions, employment and access to programs. 5 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND & ACCREDITATION The Oregon Psychoanalytic Institute is an affiliate institute of the American Psychoanalytic Association. It was established in 1995 as a new training facility under the auspices of the American Psychoanalytic Association, and the sponsorship of the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. In 2010 the Institute was granted status as a free- standing APsaA institute. Although SFCP is no longer administratively responsible for OPI, our invaluable collaboration continues in the form of visiting faculty. COURSE OF STUDIES There are three components of a psychoanalyst’s education: the student’s own personal “training” analysis, the supervised analysis of at least three adult patients, and the four-year academic curriculum. A psychoanalytic education is experiential as well as scholarly. Tools are needed to increase self-awareness and personal growth, not merely to gain objective knowledge of others or factual knowledge of abstract theories or clinical strategies. Creating a therapeutic relationship and learning its proper use on the patient’s behalf is central. This relationship is the setting where the psychoanalytic process unfolds. The psychoanalytic process provides the necessary human connection and therapeutic interaction that generates the feelings, thoughts, new experiences, and understandings that can ultimately heal the patient and lead to growth and new development. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS The Institute welcomes applications from psychiatrists (MD and DO); clinical psychologists (Ph.D. or Psy. D.); clinical social workers (MSW, Ph.D. in Social Work; nurse practitioners (PMHNP), and other doctoral level mental health clinicians. Applicants with a master’s degree from an accredited mental health degree program are eligible if they have at least two years of post-graduate didactic and clinical training and experience in psychodynamic psychotherapy. We encourage inquiries about training early in professional career development. Such inquiries may be directed to the Chair of Admissions. Any applicant for candidacy, regardless of mental health degree, must fulfill the following requirements in order to be eligible for candidacy. 6 Didactic education: prior education must include courses in: Human development Psychopathology Major psychological theories Range of therapeutic approaches to mental disorders. Interviewing techniques, history taking, information gathering, report writing. Techniques of psychotherapy Dynamically oriented courses and clinical case seminars (60 hrs minimum). Principles of clinical and professional ethical conduct. Clinical experience: A minimum of 3,000 hours or the equivalent of two years full time mental health, clinical experience under weekly individual supervision. Although this experience may be gained primarily from providing outpatient care, it should ideally include some experience with inpatient and emergency care situations, experience with the full range of mental disorders, and experience with diagnostic assessment and differential diagnosis. A minimum of 60 hours of individual supervision in the practice of psychodynamic psychotherapy such that the applicant can demonstrate a capacity to establish a clinical process and the potential for psychoanalytic clinical competency. These requirements are usually filled by the time (a) Physicians and psychologists have completed their internship and one year of an accredited psychiatric residency; (b) Doctoral level mental health clinicians, MSW’s and PMHNP’s have completed the clinical, didactic, and research requirements for their doctoral degree; (c) Masters level

    I interviewed Dr. Filet to better understand why the Dutch Psychoanalytic Institutes decided to merge to become one Dutch psychoanalytic institute. Dr. Filet said, “you should understand a little of what went on before the split - All these things have long term effects. First of all, and this is my personal opinion, because the controversies were so deep and wide and long term, there will be many people who think differently than I do. He then outlined the history of the Dutch Psychoanalytic Society. This year, actually, we are celebrating the hundredth year of the Dutch psychoanalytic society. It was established in 1917 — the same year as the British psychoanalytic society. Both were early societies. The first society was in Vienna and after that the Berlin psychoanalytic society. There were many revisions - especially in Germany after WWII. At that time new ones were established, and the Dutch Psychoanalytic Society was revised. One hundred years ago, it wasn’t yet a society, but more a group of interested physicians. For training they went to Vienna (to be analyzed by Freud) and take courses. Later they went to Berlin where Carl Abraham was the founder and leading teacher. Abraham analyzed Melanie Klein. Anna Freud was analyzed by her father —god forbid. In Holland there was no regular training program - only scientific meetings. The Dutch only really started to have a regular training program (in the model that most societies have -i.e. courses, training analysis, supervisions and final case presentation) after WW2. Before WW2, Dutch analysts went to Berlin or Vienna to train.

  • Reanalysis1 Exercise in Definition
    (1968) Contemp. Psychoanal., 4:83-102 Reanalysis1 Alberta B. Szalita, M.D. Not to enlighten one who can be enlightened is to waste a man; to endeavor to enlighten one who cannot be enlightened is to waste words. The intelligent man wastes neither his man nor his words. CONFUCIUS THERE IS HARDLY any vocation in which there is so much coincidence between the person and his work as in our profession. The psychoanalytic tenets must become part of one's personality rather than an external set of theoretical conjectures. What the analyst is or wants to be has more to do with the way he works than the theoretical frame he uses. And since the work is accomplished in discrete segments of direct, immediate experience and response, this is very difficult if not impossible to reproduce in an abstract form, suitable for generalization. Psychoanalysis is an aristocratic method. It is meant for few by few. It is a method of self-investigation, self-correction, self-redirection, and reorganization, which require disciplined thought and serious commitment. The democratization and widespread application of this method, irrespective of the qualifications of the recipients as well as the practitioners, have brought many disappointments to both sides. The institutionalization of the method has taken away some of the freshness it had in its earlier stages and rigidified it and put it into harness—an added burden toindividual initiative. Yet psychoanalysis remains the method of choice in acquisition of self-knowledge and alleviation of unnecessary mental suffering for suitable patients. For many of us have felt the immense benefits in our development and increased knowledge in the ways of man.

  • Shuttle Analysis, Shuttle Supervision, and Shuttle Life-Some Facts, Experiences, and Questions1 Gábor Szőnyi Tamara Štajner-Popović 2
    1 Shuttle Analysis, Shuttle Supervision, and Shuttle Life-Some Facts, 1 Experiences, and Questions Gábor Szőnyi Tamara Štajner-Popović 2 Tremendous effort supported the spreading of psychoanalysis in what was formerly known as "Eastern Europe." Since 2002, the Han Groen Prakken Psychoanalytic Institute of Eastern Europe has integrated this work. In many cases, training components had to be provided in "shuttle format." Shuttle analysis can be considered as an experimental domain in psychoanalytical education. The discussions on shuttle analysis have brought into the foreground some of the aspects of the process: high variation of setting; handling of unavoidable cultural c1ash; special shaping of defenses; the repetitive separation; shuttle life as a consequence-periodically interrupted practice, combination with shuttle supervision; high investment. Training with shuttle components is always a project, never a routine, because of the demand on extra organizational investment. We discuss shuttling from the point of the analyst, of the candidate, of the supervisor, and of the developing organization. Questions include special defense mechanisms, observations on transference- countertransference, "shuttle reality" of ten resembling a "dream-like reality," and special problems of supervision. The question of evaluation is an especially difficult one. The evaluation is as traditional as in regular education. At the end, we face the question: What makes shuttle analysis/shuttle training work? HISTORICAL BACKGROUND In 1987, a handful of potential candidates from different parts of Eastern Europe (Prague, Belgrade, Warsaw, and Zagreb) under the auspices of the new/old Hungarian Society met with the Executive of the European Psychoanalytical Federation (EPF) in Hungary. For years, there have bee n sporadic contacts, but the analy tic community was, so to say, just more or less aware of Eastern Europe.

  • Dilemmas in Search of a Code
    Dilemmas in search of a code Elizabeth Dorsey Psychoanalysis has a distinctive ethical qualify based on both philosophical and technical principles. The existence of the unconscious and of transference and countertransference determine the analyst's frame of reference and behavior. Working with the intense instinctual pressures of analyst and analysand can strain the limits of the clinician's skills and tolerance. The author considers issues that call most urgently for controls in the consulting room and that reveal the complexities of making clinical decisions: boundary issues; self-disclosure; case selection; transference enactment; extra-analytic contact; informed consent; and end-points of analyses. Case examples highlight some of the dilemmas analysts face when confronted with behaviors that conflict with social mores or laws. The author concludes that the analyst's choices in these difficult situations are guided by consideration of the goals of psychoanalysis and the states of both analysand and analyst with respect to the transference. Freud made clear the connection between ethics and instinct. Wbat, tben, are some of tbe issues arising from our instinctual tendencies tbat cry out for controls in tbe psychoanalytic cham- ber? Wbat matters concern analysts, analysands, and tbe pub- lic? May we touch patients? May tbe analyst use tbe transference to gain personal satisfaction, material goods, secret informa- 177 tion?

Our work, our loves, family relationships, self- esteem, creativity, physical well-being - can be determined by conceptions of our own that are beyond our awareness. That one can believe something without knowing it and therefore mold one’s existence around it can seem unbelievable. Yet those who discover this for themselves - who through this discovery gain relief of discomfort and increased clarity of purpose, who then can view their fellow humans more profoundly may use this deeper understanding to help others. Psychoanalysts are such people. Starting to Wonder About Things Psychoanalysts Wonder About... can begin at various points. It can emerge from the puzzle of one’s own adolescence or from grappling with emotional problems in clinical practice. One may observe the demonstration of conflict in a skilled practitioner’s interview, or may have grown up with it in the all too evident troubles of a family member.

    Freud, S. (1937). Analysis Terminable and Interminable. Int. J. Psycho-Anal., 18:373- 405. (1937). International Journal of Psycho-Analysis, 18:373-405 Analysis Terminable and Interminable Sigmund Freud Experience has taught us that psycho-analytic therapy—the liberation of a human being from his neurotic symptoms, inhibitions and abnormalities of character—is a lengthy business. Hence, from the very beginning, attempts have been made to shorten the course of analysis. Such endeavours required no justification: they could claim to be prompted by the strongest considerations alike of reason and expediency. But it may be that there lurked in them some trace of the impatient contempt with which the medical profession of an earlier day regarded the neuroses, seeing in them the unnecessary results of invisible lesions. If you were obliged to deal with them, you simply aimed at getting rid of them with the utmost despatch. Basing his procedure on the theory formulated in Das Trauma der Geburt (1924) Otto Rank made a particularly determined attempt to shorten analysis. He assumed that the cardinal source of neurosis was the experience of birth, on the ground of the possibility that the infant's 'primal fixation' to the mother might not be surmounted but persist in the form of 'primal repression'. His hope was that, if this primal trauma were overcome by analysis, the whole neurosis would clear up, so that this one small piece of analytic work, for which a few months should suffice, would do away with the necessity for all the rest. Rank's argument was certainly bold and ingenious but it did not stand the test of critical examination.
